Oouch, that's about what I was imagining. Then I gave Cocoa a pecan today and watched her run away with it. I think she carries it with just her upper teeth. Is that possible? I swear it looked like her mouth was pretty much still closed. Kind of like this but she mental telepathied "Look, ma, ...

This is just too funny. I'm picturing the scene from the first Jurassic Park with the veloceraptors that hunted in packs. Only with flyers! :evilbat: So now I wonder...Joan, if those saber teeth are "normal," is it a problem if my flyer's bottom teeth are much shorter? Cocoa can open her m...

Oh wow, that's so scary! The previous posting suggests it will heal on its own but I think I saw something on one of these threads about a homemade cast. Though I can't imagine trying to do that with a tiny flyer. One of the experts will point you in the right direction. I think Joan can send you va...

How do you check Kobie's teeth or how can you tell if they're too long? I've been a little worried that my fuzzballs have become lazy about eating nuts with hard shells and might be getting "long in the tooth." The fruit pits are fairly soft but the coconut will definitely help with Kobie'...

Flyer 1, You have as many days as you need! The July contest has launched but we'll have many more contests. I accept photo submissions on a rolling basis, which means that you can send them at any time. Once I have enough options to run the contest, I post it. So please do send me photos whenever y...

I gave the fuzzballs a coconut and it was hysterical. Cocoa got so excited she peed on it right away and then tried to carry it away. Finally gave up on that and spent ages chewing on it and trying to break in. Every morning I find a pile of dust from the hairy outside shell they've been chewing on....

New toys to keep our flyers busy! Granted, I bought these at Petco but they weren't very expensive and can probably be made at home. These little boxes are made of thin cardboard and stuffed with crinkly shredded paper. I unpack the crinkly paper and stuff it back in, hiding treats like pine nuts an...

We've made it easier to insert photos into your message. Click on the "Upload attachment" tab below the text window. Click "browse" to search for your photo on your computer. I always put mine on the desktop to keep it easy to find. Then hit "Add the file" and you're do...

I'm accepting photo contests submissions on a rolling basis now. Please send as many and as often so we can gather enough to post a poll. I'll try to be better about posting communications but I've been crazy busy with a new job. (Please forgive my neglect )

Hello Flyer_1, yes please do send along your photos to NFSAPHOTOS@COMCAST.NET. I changed the guidelines to reflect the acceptance of photos on a rolling basis. Once I have a good batch, I'll post a poll. Look forward to seeing them!

Yes, everyone loves the pretty purple pouches! I know other people that just couldn't throw them out and now they all belong to Cocoa and Chip. We've made uploading photos to this site really easy. There's no pressure for you to show us photos of your new owner but if you have a digital camera, see ...

I second what Joan said. If you were able to cut Jerry's toenails, you've got an incredibly cool flyer. Maybe that alone means you've been adopted by Jerry! It sounds like things have gotten better and I could totally understand your not being able to bear the thought of letting him go again. Plus, ...

Hilltopgirl, is there an update on Jerry? I hope things are going well one way or the other. I'm by no means an expert but I had a few ideas. If you provided a few additional sleeping areas, like a felt pouch, nest box, another sock, etc. then maybe your flyer wouldn't become as territorial about th...

Oh gosh, that would have been interesting. At my end, I can just imagine going to put on a pair of boots one day and finding a nest full of flyer babies! I would have liked to watch you trying to stop Mishi from doing anything. Hopefully no blood was spilled.

That is just the coolest. Were did you come up with this concept? I love the license plate nest boxes. From the front, they look like Smurf houses. What do the furballs think of your latest work of art? I bet they chew it.
